Submersible Drain Pump and 20' Water Hose, Sump Pump Kit for Pools, Hot Tubs, Water Tanks, Ponds, and More (1,580 GPH)

This sub-pump works awesome. It is very quick. Easy to assemble and drop it in. I recommend using another rope, tied to the handle, to lower the unit in the pool. Do not use the power cord as the “rope”. You will eventually pull the power cable from the unit.

Works great, took very little time to drain my hot tub. The only thing to be aware of is that your not going to get all the water out with it. There will be some left in the bottom that you will need to drain either with the drain plug or a shop vac, but this pump really speeds the process up.

A WONDERFUL VALUE for the money! -- Yes, I know.....it's a PUMP. plain and simple...and because of it's size, it DOES take a while for it to pump out your pool, but it INSTANTLY is a workhorse. VERY easy to use, I will have this for YEARS, and it was a great investment for what used to be a bit of a chore and expense. DIY folks....buy this little powerhouse pump. No need to hire a company, or truck to haul water away. Five Stars. (I have an 18,000 gal. pool, and collectively, it took about 24 hours to drain it all.....with absolutely no problem)

This worked incredibly well, and quickly, to drain our 18k gallon pool - it was nearly empty in less than 24 hours. That said, this would be 5+ stars with a couple of improvements: a longer cord (25’ really is not long enough) and a longer drain hose that is also more rigid. While it works fine, it does kink easily and next time we might try and hook up a regular hose instead. But overall, definitely recommend this and we are super happy with it.

I purchased this to drain (most of) my 11,000 gallon pool. It took about 4.5 hours, which is pretty awesome in my book. I am very impressed with the pump, it was easy to set up and get going. The only problem I had, which isn’t the any fault of the pump, was the discharge line. I ended up needing an additional 50 foot roll to make it to a point on my driveway that it would flow to the street. I would have preferred to put the water in a cleanout, but when I tried, the sheer volume of the pump was too much for it. I definitely recommend purchasing this pump if you intend to drain your pool.

This pump worked great one time only. I bought it last year at $189. When I went to use it this year it did not work. I had to order another pump.

Holy Cow! 30 THOUSAND gallons out of my pool in just over 11 hours!Here are the details; First, when I got the pump I was a little concerned because the box was pretty dented in on one corner, but the contents of the package were perfect. The included 25 foot 1 1/2" hose was really good sturdy quality and obviously reinforced with some kind of cords molded into the plastic. It came with clamps to attach it to the pump too.My pool is 8 1/2' deep and the fact that this pump has a 25' electrical cord made it safer to tie a rope to it and lower it off the diving board without worrying that the plug would get pulled into the water. I needed to pump the water 110 feet to the drain and up over a 6 foot tall block wall. I bought some couplers, clamps and extra hose at the local big box store and used a length of semi-rigid pool vacuum hose to get over the wall. The hose I bought wasn't anywhere near as nice as the piece that came with the pump, so I used that as the "header" up and out of the pool onto the deck and extended it with the cheaper hoses from there.When I plugged in the pump, it didn't have the volume I expected until I cut the smaller part of the discharge fitting (adapter) off and left only the large part that the hose clamps to.Then I restarted the pump and it quickly swelled up all 110' of discharge hose and issued a fat stream of water out of the end into the drain. In about 11 hours the pool was empty and the pump shut off by itself when the float dropped down.My pool store wanted $1500 to drain my pool and pressure wash and chlorine rinse the surface and refill and balance the water. I did the whole job for just under $300 including the extra hose and all the chemicals and this pump made it possible. I also used it to pump out all the pressure washer water and the chlorine wash and rinse water. Although I expect that it will work great next time I need it, even if it never runs again, I am WAY ahead of the game. This was a terrific bargain. There are other vendors that sell a pump that looks just like this on Amazon for less money, but those don't come with that heavy duty discharge hose and clamps, so I think the extra few dollars were way worth it. Just make sure to use a nice heavy extension cord keeping it as short as possible if you need to go more than the 25 feet that come on the pump.

Drained my 10,000 gallon inground pool in just under 7 hours. About 1,400 gallons per hour. I used the Abbott Rubber 1147-1500-100FT General Purpose Reinforced PVC Lay-Flat Water Discharge Hose, 1-1/2-Inch by 100-Feet, Blue. I had slight pinches on the incline coming out of my pool in addition to the curve I had to take. I'm sure I would have gotten the full 1,500 per hour as advertised had I had more optimal conditions. Float cut off worked as advertised. I did have to manually hold it up to get the last little bit out (maybe 5-10 minutes worth) Overall this pump worked GREAT!
